What is meant by waiting time?

Waiting time is defined as the length of time that elapses between a scheduled pickup and a passenger getting into the reserved vehicle. All flat-rate trips have a five-minute grace period, after which a charge of $8.25 is applied for every five minutes a chauffeur is waiting. Waiting time is not applied to pickups at commercial airports.

What are flat rates?

Dav El | BostonCoach offers flat rates — service to and from thousands of selected destinations available at a set price rather than billed at hourly rates. The routes covered by flat rates include those most frequently taken by travelers, such as to and from most major cities and airports. These rates are sometimes referred to as fixed or point-to-point rates.

What is the base fare?

The base fare refers to the cost of the ride before any discounts or additional charges, such as tolls, parking, etc., are applied.

What is time-based billing?

Time-based billing, also referred to as hourly or “as directed” rates, are charged on rides to which a flat rate does not apply. You will be billed for the time the vehicle and chauffeur are available to you, plus positioning time (see below).

What is a positioning charge?

The positioning charge refers to the cost incurred for the vehicle and chauffeur to travel to your pickup location and return from your drop-off point.

Most time-based rides are subject to a fixed positioning charge, which is based on vehicle type and billed at 1.5 times the hourly rate.

For time-based routes outside major metropolitan areas or between regions (e.g., New York City to Albany), charges are calculated from the time the vehicle leaves the garage to the pickup location until it returns to the garage from the drop off location billed at the hourly rate.

How are tolls handled?

We charge for any toll costs incurred between the pickup and drop-off destinations, as well as for tolls during the chauffeur’s return trip.

Why are parking charges included on my invoice?

At selected airports and certain other locations, chauffeurs are required to pay for parking while waiting at a pickup location or during a stop.

What is an administrative fee?

The administrative fee represents a very small fraction of numerous operating expenses and regulatory levies imposed by municipal, state and federal governments, agencies and commissions, including airport, regulatory, licensing and other fees.

What is an operating costs surcharge?

A surcharge, consisting of a fixed percentage of the non-discounted base fare, shall be added to reimburse Dav El | BostonCoach for our operating costs, other than tolls, parking and airport fees which are separately charged.
Dav El | BostonCoach reserves the right to modify its operating costs surcharge structure based on any increases in fuel and insurance costs, regulatory assessments and other operating expenses upon reasonable written notice to the Customer.

What additional fees may apply?

Additional fees are miscellaneous charges such as catering for food and beverage requests by groups or overnight chauffeur expenses for long distance travel. Any out of pocket expense required to meet special requests.

Why am I charged for taxes?

Sales tax is applied in some states, such as New York, New Jersey, and Georgia, as well as in selected cities and most international destinations.
